Event Details

Course overview

Hydrocarbon, Petrochemical, Chemical, Pharmacological, Power, water and food production processes consist of many complex apparatus involving both moving and static parts as well as interconnecting pipes, control mechanisms and electronics, mechanical and thermal stages, heat exchangers, waste and side product processing units, power ducts and many others. Bringing such a complicated unit online and ensuring its continued productivity requires substantial skill at anticipating, detecting and solving acute problems. Failure to identify and resolve these problems quickly can lead to lost production, off-spec product, equipment loss, and even catastrophic accidents. Therefore, the ability to troubleshoot process operations is one of the most valuable skills operations personnel can possess.

Troubleshooting is the process used to diagnose the fault safely and efficiently, decide on corrective action and prevent the fault from reoccurring. Process engineering, especially troubleshooting, is different from most other branches of technology in another respect: It is not advancing at a satisfactory rate. The principles of distillation, hydraulics, phase separation, and heat transfer, as they apply to process applications, have been well known for many years. The challenge in troubleshooting consists of untangling the differing influences that aspects such as human error, mechanical failure, and corrosion have on these well-known principles.

This course is designed to provide understanding of these process and instruction in the different types of troubleshooting techniques, procedures, and methods used to solve process problems. Participants study concepts related to troubleshooting commissioning, normal startup, normal operations, normal shutdown, turnarounds, and abnormal situations, as well as the Process team role in performing tasks associated with these concepts within an operating unit.

Learning objectives

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

Characterize and differentiate the different properties and production problems associated with a wide range of hydrocarbon products

Understand the composition and describe the hierarchy of hydrocarbon structures

Discuss difficulties associated with hydrocarbon components, processing equipment, additives, catalysts and their application, and the health safety and environmental concerns related to the production and processing of oil and gas and associated products

Apply a comprehensive range of knowledge and skills in troubleshooting in the hydrocarbons and chemicals production and processing industry
